Gift-Card Recovery

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-08-05 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-money

Reclaim value stuck in gift cards, store credit, and forgotten balances — check what's left, use it before it's lost, and know your rights on expiry and cash-back. Use when asked to use up a gift card, I have store credit I forgot about, do gift cards expire, or get cash for a gift card. Produces a way to find and check balances, the rules on expiry and dormancy for your region, options to use/convert/sell partial balances, guidance on cashing out small remainders where allowed, and how to avoid the common gift-card scams.

🗣 Say this to your agent

“I've got a stack of old gift cards — how do I check and use them?”“Do gift cards expire, and can I get cash for the balance?”“I have $12 left on a store card — can I cash it out?”“Where can I sell gift cards I won't use?”“Someone told me to pay a fee with gift cards — is that a scam?”

What to give it

What you have — the retailers/brands, rough balances, physical or digital
Card type — store-specific or open-loop (Visa/Mastercard prepaid)
Region — determines expiry/fee/cash-out rules
Your goal — use it up, convert to cash, or just check it's still valid
Any problem — lost card, drained balance, or a card someone pressured you to buy

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

Gives a concrete way to find and check balances
States region-appropriate expiry/fee/cash-out rules
Offers sensible use options (not buying junk to burn it)
Includes reputable resale/convert routes with the expected discount
Warns about gift-card payment scams and balance draining

⚠️ What it refuses to do

**Assuming a card is worthless/expired** without checking the rules.
**Buying random junk** just to use up a balance.
**Using a sketchy exchange** that never pays.
**Ignoring dormancy fees** quietly eating the balance.
**Missing the scam angle** — gift cards as fake "payment."
